Podere San Lorenzo (SGI470)  

On a sun-soaked slope in the hamlet of Casaglia, just outside San Gimignano (about 4–8 km from the town center). Easy access to Tuscan jewels — Certaldo, Volterra and Siena are all a short drive, and Florence landmarks like Pitti Palace, Piazzale Michelangelo and Ponte Vecchio are within reach. Car recommended; sandy beaches at Cecina Mare are roughly 80 km away.

Podere San Lorenzo blends rustic country-house charm with hotel-style touches. Expect natural stone floors, tasteful country furnishings, panoramic views over vineyards and San Gimignano, and roomy terraces including a large roofed terrace and a fenced 2,000 m2 garden. Layout suits families or groups (sleeps up to 8) with multiple bedrooms, showers/WC, satellite TV, hi‑fi/DVD and wood-burning stoves for cozy evenings.

Seasonal outdoor pool (6 x 3 m, depth 140 cm; available May 1–Oct 10), above‑ground with pool-side shower and maintained on-site. Terraced garden, barbecue, deck chairs and terrace furniture for al fresco lounging, plus private parking (space for about 3 cars) and press available. Accessible features are noted and an elevator serves higher floors.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the property — handy if you need to stay connected while enjoying the countryside.

There’s an on-site restaurant for easy meals, and the cottage's large, fully equipped kitchen (oven, dishwasher, 5-burner hob, microwave and coffee machine) is perfect for self-catering or group feasts. A nearby restaurant sits about 500 m away and the terrace + barbecue make for great al fresco dining.
